Perpendicular Flow Profile

Unlike other shipbuilding software, creating twisted profiles or flat bars along shell plating is now really simple within SD Nautilus.
We’ve expanded our database of profiles and flat bars, so you can quickly create any profile you need along your shell.
All you need to do is project the profile lines onto a shell surface, pick its orientation and choose a desired type & size. The command will do the rest for you in a second.
SD NAUTILUS® is a unique, simple, and low-cost platform primarily designed for the shipbuilding industry, but it can be used in other areas of the mechanical industry as well. It was developed as a supplement to the Rhinoceros v5 basic package especially valuable to naval architects, design offices and shipyards with the following features:
- SD NAUTILUS offers a wide pallet of additional tools for fast 3D modeling typical for shipbuilding
- Automatic positioning of structural elements with naming in a shipbuilding manner
- Automatic specs/part lists creation with weight and COG info
- Quick semi-automatic cross-section extraction, preparation for 2D drawing, and export to any Cad software package
- Quick extraction of structural elements for CNC cutting preparation
- Automatic profile extraction and preparation for 2D profile sketches
- Quickly and simple shell expansion
- Bending templates production
Main benefits of SD NAUTILUS®:
- Low-cost & simple application
- Inexpensive equipment (unlike competition software solutions, Rhinoceros is not high demanding for hardware requirements)
- Low-cost & easy personnel training
- Possibility of simultaneous work at multiple locations in the world. No participants number limitation at any level of project development*
- Compatibility with all other similar software packages (AutoCAD, SolidWorks, SC, or similar)
- Adaptability to the client’s demands and practice.
Disadvantages:
- Working with no database requires some manual operation, especially during alterations,
- Parametric connection is for now rationed due to the prospects of the Rhinoceros basic package.
SD NAUTILUS® is an excellent substitution for expensive software packages intended primarily for smaller design offices, shipyards, and workshops with a capacity of up to 10,000 t/year.
Compliance with the customer needs and the total cost of the application make SD NAUTILUS® outstandingly attractive.
